Course Overview

If running an arts venue sounds like your dream career then our unique BA/BSc (Hons) Arts and Cultural Management degree course will give you the tools and skills you need. The entertainment and performance sector is experiencing year-on-year growth, with the ever-present need for escapism, whether that be through comedy, theatre, music, spoken word or dance. This course, run by our Business School for the Creative Industries at UCA Epsom, introduces you to the fast-moving world of events and promotions, where no two days are the same and you will find yourself working alongside creatives and performers, as well as industry executives. You’ll gain an understanding of what goes on behind the scenes to stage an event – be it a local multi-arts venue or a major music festival such as Glastonbury – and how logistics, programming, ticketing, staffing and catering come together to create a unique experience. You’ll build knowledge of the increasing role played by social media and digital communications in the marketing and publicizing of events, and how new technologies are changing the face of performance – from immersive and interactive theatre to holograms and virtual reality.
